Was Kevin Bacon or Christian Slater on around the time Meg and Marisa were on? Maybe a different soap?

Quote tenngal: Thomas Gibson played on Dharma and Greg. Currently on Criminal Minds. Didn't he play Lily's husband who died in a fire--Derek?

Brian Bloom hasn't been really big but has had some post-ATWT success.

I remember Marisa Tomei playing a teenage tennis player or something.


Yes, he did!

For some reason, this made me very curious. I did some research and found some actors that were on ATWT, most many years ago. They may not have made it really big and I don't necessarily remember them playing on ATWT, but I do remember all of them as actors. There are quite a few interesting names:

Martin Sheen, Margaret Hamilton (The Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz), Farley Granger, Barnard Hughes, Zsa Zsa Gabor (I think she played herself), Ed Bryce (Scott Bryce's, father), Claire Bloom, Randolph Mantooth, Valerie Perrine, Andy Williams (as himself), Nick & Drew Lachey (as themselves), Margaret Colin, Brock Peters, Swoosie Kurtz, David McCallum, Robert Vaughn, Rex Smith, Nicolas Coster, Glynnis O'Conner, James Van Der Beek, Donna Hanover, Emily Rossum, Richard Roundtree, Finn Carter, Joyce Van Patten, Patty McCormack, Celeste Holm, Kathleen Noone, Edie Adams, Pearl Bailey, Betsy Palmer, Imogene Coca, Courtney Cox, John O'Hurley, Victoria Rowell, John Spencer. Some of these were probably just one time appearances and some of these people have passed on. Those of you who are as old as I am (OLD!!!) will remember a lot of these actors although there are a few younger ones that I didn't realize had played a part on ATWT.

Bailey Chase, I don't know if you'd say he made it big but he has had alot of roles.

Steven Weber

Abe Vigoda, don't know if it was before or after he made it!

Ed Bryce played a professor named Phillip Stallings in '70-'71. I have no idea what his s/l was. I was surprised about Courtney Cox. She played a character named Bunny in 1984. I'd always heard that her big break came when she danced in Bruce Springsteen's video, "Dancing in the Dark" but that took place in 1989, so it most likely was a bit part on ATWT. Apparently, the ATWT part was her one of her first roles ever. I think she would have been about 20 at the time.

I don't remember her at all. Must have been after I started working and no taping!
Seems like some stars don't count their soap experiences. I don't know if they consider it below them or what. Yet I have heard other actors say it is the hardest work they have ever done.

She played a character named Nella Franklin around 1988. It's possible that she was filling in for another actress. There were two other actresses that played the part and apparently, the character was on for a couple of years, but I'm drawing a blank. I've watched ATWT forever, but my mind is getting fuzzy when it comes to all of the characters and storylines! Does anyone remember a storyline with Nella Franklin in it?

She played a character named Debbie Simon around '92-'93. I don't remember the s/l, but in my mind (feeble as it is), I see her wearing dark rimmed glasses. Don't know if that's for sure, though.
